This class is an extension of the class called Patterns: Patterns in Math Multiples/Multiplication Tables. It is recommended that learners take that class first. This class is a more complex pattern seeking class. Students will go beyond multiples to find patterns in math, using the same interactive 100 chart, but discovering patterns that are not as obvious. This class is excellent for mathematical thinkers who are interested in solving thoughtful mathematical patterns. Students should be past memorizing multiplication facts and seek a more complex thinking process. In it we discover patterns that are not as obvious. If this might interest her, here is the link for that class.
Students will attempt to solve the question of what comes next in a series of numbers and why. They will practice explaining their mathematical thinking and communciation by describing why a number would come next in a pattern. If time permits, students can share their own mathematical patterns with the group and explain them.
The teacher is a certified GATE teacher and specializes in higher level thinking activities in which students go beyond facts to analyze and assess their own thinking processes and learning.
